Love thy selfie, Nic

Ed Sheeran has revealed his next tattoo will be a design by artist Damien Hirst

ED SHEERAN already regards his 60 plus tats as art, but with his latest inking there is no doubting him.

He’s revealed how artist DAMIEN HIRST has created the design.

Ed, gearing up for the release of his new album, said: “Damien has drawn my next tattoo so I’m going to get that done. It’s a skull, it’s very cool.

“I’ve got way more than 60 tattoos so I don’t know where it will go yet.”

Damien and Ed have become so close that the singer’s new album artwork was painted in the artist’s studio . . . albeit by Ed, who said: “He just left me in there with a load of paint and I just threw it on this spin machine and created my album cover.”

A diamond-encrusted platinum skull sculpture by Damien called For the Love of God sold for £50million in 2007.

Grammy winner Ed himself is estimated to be worth £50million, and when his latest arty tat gets inked, he’ll be a walking, singing pop-culture exhibition.

Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has splashed out on a new house

JESY NELSON has bought a £1.2million bachelorette pad.

The six-bedroom Essex gaff will be the perfect party palace for her to forget her love woes after splitting from RIXTON fiance JAKE ROCHE.

A source said: “Jesy got herself a nice foot on the property ladder – and as it’s in Essex, she can pop to her mum’s for a cuppa.”

Jesy is in the US supporting ARIANA GRANDE with LITTLE MIX bandmates JADE THIRLWALL, PERRIE EDWARDS and LEIGH-ANNE PINNOCK, but will be back to rock the Brits on Wednesday.

Biz at the EE British Academy Film Awards

THE highlight of last week’s glamorous EE Bafta awards and after-parties was undoubtedly bumping into the legendary MERYL STREEP to have a major DONALD TRUMP bitching session. What else?

The actress, holding court at the Grosvenor Ball as countless celebs – including BRYCE DALLASHOWARD – queued up to fawn over her, laughed off the US President’s slur that she was “overrated”.

The three-time Oscar winner said: “That’s perhaps the only thing we agree on. In fact, it most definitely is. But, you know, likewise.”

Big names such as MEL BROOKS, who won the Bafta Fellowship, and STANLEY TUCCI teased the icon, saying: “Stick at it Meryl, one day acting will work out for you.”

But Meryl wasn’t laughing about anything else the President has been up to.

She backed the political speeches most winners gave at the ceremony and told us: “Patting ourselves on the back isn’t cutting it any more. We have a platform and it isn’t the time to use it to thank your agent.”

We bet President Trump can’t wait to watch next Sunday’s Oscar ceremony.

He’s probably still fuming he didn’t get a gong for his stunning performance as “Donald Trump” in the cinematic classic, Home Alone 2.

— BEST Actress winner EMMA STONE told us she would “love to be involved” in a La La Land clothing line.

A Bafta source said: “It’s definitely on the agenda. Watch this space.”

Only time will tell whether RYAN GOSLING’s greasy, floppy hairdo will be equally as popular in the hairstyle stakes.

— AT the Weinstein Company after-party at London’s Rosewood Hotel, sozzled Best Actor winner CASEY AFFLECK joked: “I’m not looking my best. I’ll have to wear my Bafta as a mask.”

TOM HIDDLESTON skipped the bash to avoid the fallout over TAYLOR SWIFT. He should’ve danced his cares away with us.

Calum Scott told The Sun he's pals with two famous Smiths — Sam and Sheridan

The singer, who recently revealed he was gay, told us: “Sam is a label mate so we met up in America the other day in a bar. He’s so lovely.

“I know what people will think but no, it was just a friendly date.

"We’re both so busy we’ve got no time for love at the moment.

"Although who knows at the Brits? Maybe you can be my wingwomen.”

Calum, who has released his first original song Rhythm Inside, also gushed about his actress pal Sheridan.

He said: “She is the nicest, most supportive lady – I couldn’t believe she was telling me how great I was . . . I was saying, ‘You’re bloody CILLA BLACK, you’re amazing!’”

— CRAIG DAVID could finally get his hands on a Brit Award this week.

And he deserves one after his insanely good War Child gig at Electric Brixton, London.

The mash-up of hit song Rendezvous with DRAKE’s One Dance was a highlight.

Plus, any man who is happy to take the reins of a WHITNEY HOUSTON classic such as It’s Not Right But It’s Okay has our vote.

— BRIT performers and nominees will have the chance to be pampered in a fancy on-site spa by Prismologie and get bespoke Union Jack nails by True Brit London.
